You are in very truth the cloud, and you have shown us the water of the rain, the sign of the Only Begotten, The Father established thee, the Holy Spirit took up His abode on you, and the power of the Most High overshadowed you, O Mariyam, and verily you did bring forth the Word, the Son of እግዚአብሔር/Igziabher/God, Who endures forever.

Come, O all you nations, and let us ascribe blessing unto Mariyam, for she is at once mother and Virgin. Rejoice, O pure Virgin, in whom there is no blemish, to whom came the Word of the Father, Who was incarnate of her. Rejoice, O vessel unblemished, perfect and spotless Woman.

Rejoice thou, O Garden endowed with reason, thou abode of Kristos, Who became the Second-Adam because the first Adam was the man. Rejoice thou, O Woman who bore the Only-Begotten, Who, having gone forth from the bosom of His Father, suffered no change. Rejoice, O thou pure Bridechamber, who are adorned with all the beauty of praise, He came and was incarnate of you. Rejoice, O Thorn-bush, who was not consumed by the fire of the እግዚአብሔር/Igziabher/Godhead. Rejoice, thou O mother and Maid, Virgin, thou second heaven, who did carry in your body Him who is born aloft by the Cherubim and Seraphim.

6. The glory of Mariyam is greater than that of all the saints, for she was worthy to receive the Word of the Father. Him Who make the angels to be afraid, Him Whom the watching Angels in heaven praise, did Mariyam the Virgin carry in her womb. She is greater than the Cherubim, and superior to the Seraphim, for she was the Ark (or Tabernacle) of the Holy Trinity. She is Jerusalem, the city of the Prophets, and she is the habitation of the joy of all the saints. On the people who sat in darkness and shadow of death has a great light risen.
እግዚአብሔር /Igziabher/God who rest in His Holiness became incarnate of a Virgin for our salvation. Come ye and look upon this marvelous thing, and sing ye His song because of the mystery that has been revealed unto us, for He who was become a man, the Word mingled (with our nature), He who had no beginning (assumed) a beginning for Himself, and He who had no days (reckoned) to Himself days, and He who was invisible, showed Himself; the Son of the Living እግዚአብሔር/Igziabher/God became a man indeed, Him do we worship and praise.

7. Ezekiel the Prophet testified concerning her and said, “ I see a sealed door in the East, sealed with a great and wonderful seal, and no one except the አምላክ/Amlak/God of the mighty one has gone through it. He went in and He came out.” (Ezekiel 43:4; 44:1-2).

8. This door is the Virgin who brought forth for us the Redeemer. And after she brought Him forth she remained in her virginity. Blessed is the Fruit of thy Womb, O እግዚአብሔር/Igziabher/God-bearer, who came and delivered us out of the hand of the Enemy who was merciless. Complete are thou and blessed; thou has found grace with the King of Glory, the እግዚአብሔር/Igziabher/God of truth. O HOLY VIRGIN MARIYAM Majesty and Glory belong to you more than to all those who dwell upon earth. The Word of the Father came and was incarnate of you, and walked about with men, for He is compassionate and a Lover of men. He delivered our souls by His Holy coming.
